"This track is more interesting as far as the patch goes than it actually sounds, but I wanted to share anyway...

The main sound source is one square wave oscillator from the Dalek Modulator. It's pitch modulation comes from two sources"

Forat Linn 9000

images via this auction. via Must!
"It is a fully loaded Forat9000, and, as you may know, it is really hard to find a Forat with all the sampling upgrades. I sent the machine to Bruce Forat's place for him to go through. You will be buying a totally updated, upgraded, refurbished, very clean, fully functional, Forat Linn 9000.
You can see many of the upgrades from the shot of the rear exterior.

There is a mystery upgrade all the way to left - the unmarked 1/4" input. I called Bruce to see what it is, and he says it is an unmarked SMPTE upgrade."

Bringing the SEM's closer to the action

via Reed:
"After eleven years of not using enough SEM's in our tracks because the 4-voice was all the way across the room, my business partner decided to rack mount 2 of the voices.

The first challenge was finding a big enough box. Two SEM's side by side are wider than most standard rack boxes will accomodate. When Greg St. Regis built the Obie Rack at Studio Electronics, he opted to cut part of the sides off the actual SEM faceplates to make things fit. Since we want to keep the option of mounting the SEM's back into the 4-voice, we decided to pay a few hundred bucks to have a company build a custom steel box.

As you can see in the picture, Phil took the power supply from the 4-voice & carefully mounted it to the new chassis, putting the big transistors on the outside of the case. He then literally screwed an MPU-101 in there for Midi. At a moment's notice the whole thing could be restored to its original condition as though nothing ever happened.

There are no extra bells and whistles on the front panel. You tend to get the sound you want out of an SEM without any extra patch points or toggle switches. Bravo to Mr. Oberheim for getting it right the first time."

"here's a demonstration of how you can make wicked crazy Dr Who terror sounds with it. this thing is incredible. maybe i should keep it.

this would be me playing the Prophet 10, to demonstrate that it works for the purpose of purchase. if i were to demonstrate its sound i would have recorded the sound better."
